Summer in Siberia!
I've just come back from an adventurous summer in Russia, where I was serving as a teaching assistant for Princeton's Global Seminar in Moscow. During my stay there, I ventured all the way out to Magadan on Russia's Northeastern coast to carry out further research on Gulag Theater. Excited to be back in NYC with some new projects on the horizon. Stay tuned!
The REEL Deal!

The show has been selected as an All About Solo Critic's Choice and has received two glowing Five Star reviews!
Nadia Ascencio writes: "I have not witnessed as powerful a performance in a solo work since John Leguizamo’s masterpiece, “Mambo Mouth.” Mr. Robertson’s brave willingness to share his story is the stuff that true art is made of."

My longtime creative partner Adam Mastroianni and I have a new podcast, and I voice over 50 characters! Part mystery, part absurdist satire, The Sound of Liberty follows two estranged brothers trying to unravel the mystery of their missing grandfather, and the only clues lie in the old tapes of a Cold War-era American propaganda radio show. The meat of the show feels like an old-timey radio drama with modern jokes. It's got heart and laughs and a horse who can do math.
My Off-Broadway Debut!
I am honored to join the cast of Babette's Feast at Theatre at St. Clement's as the Understudy for Players 3, 4, 5 & 6!
This heartwarming storytelling piece is a New York Magazine Critic's Pick and was nominated for Most Unique Theatrical Experience by the Off-Broadway Alliance Awards
YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT AN EQUITY ACTOR!
